Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Steering Parts & Acc.

Will these steering parts fit both my Peterbilt 567 and 579 models?

Most steering components in this category are designed to fit both the 567 and 579 models from 2013 to current year. However, some parts may be model-specific due to differences in cab configurations. Always check the product description for exact fitment details, or contact our support team with your VIN number for verification. Key differences typically involve the steering column length and mounting brackets between the 567's vocational setup and the 579's highway configuration.

What are the most common steering wheel sizes available, and which one should I choose?

Standard steering wheel sizes for Peterbilt 567/579 trucks range from 18 to 20 inches in diameter. The 18-inch wheels are popular for highway applications where frequent maneuvering isn't required, while 20-inch wheels provide better leverage for vocational trucks or drivers who prefer easier turning. Most aftermarket wheels feature standard 5-bolt patterns that match OEM specifications. Consider your driving conditions and personal comfort when selecting a size.

How difficult is it to install a new steering wheel or column components?

Basic steering wheel replacement typically takes 30-60 minutes and requires standard hand tools, including a steering wheel puller. You'll need to disconnect the battery, remove the airbag (if equipped), and carefully align the new wheel to maintain proper turn signal cancellation. Steering column repairs or replacements are more complex and may require 2-4 hours, special alignment tools, and potentially programming for trucks with electronic features. We recommend professional installation for column work to ensure proper function and safety compliance.

What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket steering components in terms of quality?

OEM steering parts meet Peterbilt's exact specifications and typically carry longer warranties, but come at premium prices. Quality aftermarket options from brands like Bostrom, Minimizer, and Grant use similar materials (reinforced polymers, steel cores, genuine leather wraps) and often exceed DOT requirements. The main differences are usually in finish options and pricing, with aftermarket parts offering 30-50% savings. All steering components we carry meet or exceed FMVSS standards for commercial vehicles.

Do I need to worry about compatibility with my truck's airbag system when replacing steering components?

Yes, airbag compatibility is crucial for 2013 and newer Peterbilt trucks. When replacing steering wheels, ensure the new wheel is designed for airbag-equipped vehicles and includes proper clock spring connections. Never attempt to modify non-airbag wheels for airbag use. Steering columns with integrated electronics require matching connectors for cruise control, turn signals, and airbag systems. If your truck has steering wheel controls for radio or other functions, verify the replacement part supports these features or be prepared to lose that functionality.
